Summary
This is a professional guide for Higher Education faculty and Student Affairs administrators, which rigorously examines college students use of online social networking sites and how they use these to develop relationships both on and off campus. Most importantly, it investigates how college students use online sites to explore and makes sense of their identities. Providing information taken from interviews, surveys and focus group data, the book presents an ethnographic view of social networking that will help Student Affairs administrators, Information Technology administrators, and faculty better understand and provide guidance to the "neomillennials" on their campuses.
